Lance Bernard: Where Democrats’ list of ‘first’ nominees will lead us
The Democratic Part strategy: always nominate someone “historical.”
2008 – First African-American nominated. Historical!
2016 – First woman nominated. Historical!
2024 – First openly-gay nominated. Historical!
2032 – First transgender nominated. Historical!
2040 – First clone nominated. Historical!
2048 – First bi-species nominated. Historical!
2056 – First trans-human nominated. Historical!
2064 – First ex-Machina nominated. Historical!
After that, humans became irrelevant and within 1,000 years found themselves on the verge of extinction. Then one was found huddled in a cave in Northern Microsoftia. He is now known as: The first Caucasian male nominated. Historical!
